Anybody know how i can change the rules to get sardaukar to come throught the starport, but only if you have them allied?? I can get them through the starport but only if they belong to one of the great houses. any help please?????

Errr... perhaps you should slow down and rephrase that...

Inoculator9, the one person i have a feeling could help me. i went into the rules.txt and made infantry units available at the starport, something i think should be default since you never train your soldiers on site during a real war. that was easy because those units are house-specific, but i wanted to get the imperial sardaukar to come through the starport, but ONLY if you have an alliance with them. the direct way is impossible because starports are house-specific and imperial units cannot come through non-imperial buildings. i tried to get around that by setting the sardaukar available to all houses, and thought that might work. but, when i did that, it didnt matter if you were allied to them or not, you could always buy them at the starport, thats my problem. I want to find a way to make them available at the starport, but ONLY with an alliance. I know youve made a bunch of mods, i especially like your smuggler mod, so i figure youd be able to help me with my dilemma.

Starportable = True

Maybe....?

Lol I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner but I was lazy. I know what your problem is exactly. Unfortunately you HAVE to have a building which allows the production of sardaukars and is only available with alliance with the sardaukar. For instance, you would have to probably do the following with the sardaukar:

//Primarybuilding =  (cancel this statement)

secondarybuilding = IMsardaukarbarracksr

Starportable = TRUE

This means that you would still require the sard barracks to order sards from the starport. This may or may not work, depending on how the starport is coded. If this does not work then I'm afraid it's impossible.
